How to Keep the Kids Quiet at your Wedding Reception!

Even if children are your favourite guests at your wedding and reception, there are times when - well - they need to pipe down ever so slightly! Whatever their age, staying quiet for a while seems to be almost impossible for the majority of kids at weddings. Our favours are designed specifically to have the bride's favourite attribute - 'shut up'-ability!

Tiny Terrors - our children's wedding favours for under 3s have bits and bobs to keep them busy - even if it's just for a little while! We recommend Animal Magic, with a bag of mini Jelly Babies, a cute little Lion Cub to play make believe with and a sturdy game of Animal Themed Trumps - all perfect for entertaining the 18 month+ age group. For younger still, then the Peepo! Party Bag is perfect with the virtually indestructible board book with bold, bright pictures that babies will adore.

Playful Pre Schoolers - for the 3-5 year olds, our kids wedding favours will give you a bit of peace at a very affordable price! Our activity bags are ideal for this age group, so take a peek at our best selling kids wedding favours, Activity Fun - it really does do what it says on the tin!

From 6 to 10, Let Playtime Begin! - this can be the age where the little imps are at their most disruptive - so a bit of creative thinking when it comes to the childrens wedding favours for this age group never goes amiss! For girls, we think Girl Power will do the trick, and for the boys, Ooze isn't quite as messy as it sounds!

Whatever you decide - and there's a lot to choose from - we'll not only make sure your childrens wedding favours contain brilliant goodies to keep the kids entertained, but also as you can choose the colour of your favours from our huge range at absolutely no extra cost at all, and add personalised tags for just 20 measley pennies each too!


 
Tips on Hosting a Successful Housewarming Party

Whether you're showing off renovations, an extension or a garden refurb, or if you've moved house and can't wait to host your first party, follow our simple tips below to ensure you enjoy your event just as much as your guests.

1. Food

Finger food is always the best way to go with a housewarming party. One idea is to have different dishes in different rooms, encouriaging your guests to wander around, exploring your new or newly renovated property. The best plan is to have a cold buffet so if guests arrive at different times, there's still something for them to eat. Keep it simple though - especially if you've just moved in and are still in the process of unpacking - most local supermarkets will prepare buffets and finger food for you if you're willing to pay, and let them know a few days in advance!

2. Drink

It's always nice to have a champagne reception of some kind, but to keep costs under control, make it Bucks Fizz rather then all champers! Ensure you have plenty of soft drinks too, for drivers and children, and to keep your involvement to a minimum, why not prepare a few jugs of orange juice and/or Pimms & lemonade spotted in various rooms with disposable cups nearby for guests to help themselves. If the weather's nice, pop a bin full of ice outside and fill it will bottles or cans of beer and fizzy soft drinks - just make sure there's a few cheap bottle openers close by so you're not forever hunting for one on behalf of a thirsty guest!

3. Location

If you've recently moved, make sure your invites, whether by post or email or even text, include your full address and postcode, along with a few helpful hints on where to park and local landmarks to help your guests find you. There's nothing worse than a car full of guests arriving having just had a row about finding you!

4. Tours

Whether it's a new home or you've had work done to your old house, guests will always be interested to see what you've had done. Offer to take small groups round on a 'guided tour', showing them what you have planned for each room, or what you've had done. Where major renovations have taken place, it's always a nice idea to have some 'before' photos up in each changed room so your guests can see the transformation for themselves!

5. Home Time

If you're a host who isn't mad keen on hangers on, make sure your invites specify not just a start time, but a finish time too! And if there are some lingerers who don't look like their ever going to leave, starting on the tidying, turning off lights in rooms in the rest of the house, and not so subtle comments about how early you have to be up the following morning might help to get them moving. Of course, one way to announce the end of your event without seeming rude is to hand out party bags! Whether you've decided to just give the kids party bags, or you've gone for adult party bags too, getting them out and starting to distribute them is a sign the night has come to ann end, and should help you clear your house of guests, while leaving them thinking what a delightful host you've been!


 
Wedding Favors

Exactly what is a wedding favor? A Wedding Favor is a small token of your appreciation to your guests or wedding party. It can be as simple as a picture of the bride and groom in a beautiful picture frame to a delicious edible treat that all guests would enjoy. You can be elaborate and decorate your reception party with a theme wedding favor such as a beach wedding favor or as dreamy as a Cinderella theme wedding. For a personal touch you may want to give a special gift of personal bath salts to your bridal party or place some mouth watering treats in your own wedding favor packaging.

Wedding Favors are also a delightful way for your guests to remember your special occasion. In the years to come your guests will look upon that special take home favor and remember your special day with fond memories. It might even entice your guests to send a special gift or card upon your anniversary.

Partying as a Singleton?

If you’ve reached that tricky time of life when most of your mates are married off or submerged in coupledom, from time to time you’ll find yourself invited to a party which is clearly aimed at the couples market, and you’re the obligatory single guy or girl making up the numbers.

Larger events involving dimmed lights and loud music don’t tend to be so intimidating – but dinner parties have to top the list of potentially awkward situations as a singleton. The anticipation can be worse then the event itself – worrying about who you’re going to end up sat next to – whether that’s the ‘other’ opposite sex single person your friends are not so subtly attempting to set you up with, or in between a bickering couple, or even next to one half of a couple who seems slightly over interested in you in a slightly obvious way – it’s never as bad as it might seem in your imagination! Who knows, the blind date set up guy or gal might actually be someone you get on with/are attracted to – and if not, then at least you’ve got someone else in the same situation to chat to.

The key things to remember to make the evening go as smoothly as possible are, in no particular order:

  • Don’t drink too much – nothing worse than being the drunkest in the room when you’re making your own way home without a helper!
  • Unless you’re averse to it – to may be best to drink a little though – just to ease the nerves!
  • Don’t flirt with any half of a couple – and if the attention is getting a little too close for comfort for you, then an unsubtle of turn your back for at least 15 minutes should send the right message.
  • Set up a ‘leaving early’ excuse from the outset of the evening – an early work meeting/gym class/day trip…you won’t have to follow it through and be the first to leave, but it’ll give you the opportunity if need be.

If you still can’t face a dinner party alone, why not try registering at a few free dating sites, which could help you meet someone, and while you're there just check out the dating profile writing tips page to get a quick glance on better ways to write profiles too!

And if you're in the middle of planning your own dinner party, why not liven things up with our range of adults party bags!
